Other than confirming that the Galaxy Note 8 will be unveiled at MWC, Samsung's mobile division head JK Shin has also officially confirmed that the S IV device will not be announced during the same event. This isn't too surprising of course, given that the S III was unveiled at a separate event in May last year. Samsung Lebanon, in a Facebook reply to a post asking about the Galaxy S IV's availability, they have mentioned that the device "won't be released before May 2013", which puts it at a later time frame than MWC.
